  I am using wordpress.com as a website rather than a blog, and I am trying to add a scoop.it feed but have discovered that iframes are not allowed on wordpress.com. It seems like the only option is using xmlrpc, but I don’t think that will have the same effect. How can I get my scoop.it widget to appear at the top of the main web page? Thanks in advance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  re: the widget
  There are code restrictions and we cannot post either iframes or JavaScript without the code being stripped out be the software to preserve security on the multiuser blogging platform.

  However, you can paste the RSS Feed URL into an RSS Widget.

  Alternatively, create a custom menu on your free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  Add the custom link for your scoop.it site to it

  Thanks timethief! I’ve added an RSS Widget to the sidebar for scoop.it.
